Subject: [PATCH perf/core 01/22] [v2] perf refcnt: Introduce generic
 refcount APIs with debug feature

This is a kind of debugging feature for atomic reference counter.
The reference counters are widely used in perf tools but not well
debugged. It sometimes causes memory leaks but no one has noticed
the issue, since it is hard to debug such un-reclaimed objects.

This refcnt interface provides fully backtrace debug feature to
analyze such issue. User just replace atomic_t ops with refcnt
APIs and add refcnt__exit() where the object is released.

/* At object initializing */
refcnt__init(obj, refcnt, 1); /* <- atomic_set(&obj->refcnt, 1); */
/* or */
refcnt__init_as(obj, refcnt, 1, "class");	/* init as "class" */

/* At object get method */
refcnt__get(obj, refcnt); /* <- atomic_inc(&obj->refcnt); */

/* At object put method */
if (obj && refcnt__put(obj, refcnt)) /* <-atmoic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcnt)*/

/* At object releasing */
refcnt__exit(obj, refcnt); /* <- Newly added */

The debugging feature is enabled when building perf with
REFCNT_DEBUG=1. Otherwides it is just translated as normal
atomic ops.

Debugging binary warns you if it finds leaks when the perf exits.
If you give -v (or --verbose) to the perf, it also shows backtrace
logs on all refcnt operations of leaked objects.

---
 Changes from v1:
  - Change internal functions as it indicates the object more clear
  - Minor macro changes to have braces.
  - refcnt__init takes an initial number for some cases.
  - Add refcnt__init_as() for the object which the object and class
    have different name.
  - Header shows "obj@...r" instead of "obj: addr".
  - Shrink down the backtrace size to 16 (it is enough).
  - Fix a bug in case of refcnt == 0.
  - Show raw addresses if backtrace_symbol is failed.
